Q: What are some practical policy avenues listeners can pursue to defend children's rights at the state level?
Listeners are encouraged to engage with state lawmakers, support bills that extend protections for children's access to both parents, and monitor state policies via the Them Before Us scorecard to identify where reforms are needed.
Making Children Our Priority
Q: Katy, what motivated you to tackle this topic and advocate for children's rights in the family?
Faust describes a personal awakening during the 2012 marriage debate and the realization that children's rights are central to understanding marriage, which led to forming Them Before Us and advocating for reforms based on natural rights of children to both mother and father.
